4.6 VLAN
A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the
same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroup to be defined on the basis of their
logical location instead of their physical location, and does not require recalling
The default VLAN is that all ports belong to VLAN 1. This switch support up to 4095 port-based
802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs).
In the VLAN management window, you will see 2 VLANs in the page. To select a certain VLAN,
you can do the following:
Ø
Press ">>" button to display the next two VLANs
Ø
Press "<<" button to display the previous two VLANs
Ø
Press ">>|" button to display the last two VLANs
Ø
Press "|<<" button to display the first two VLANs
Ø
Enter the VLAN index in the "VLAN" edit box then press "Go to" button
You can add, edit and remove port members of each VLAN and then finally press "Apply"
button only once to configure the desired VLANs you want.
Note: if you want to set multiple VLANs, we suggest that you set Default VLAN ID for each port
first in Ports page.
4.7 Trunk
Port trunking is the ability to group several 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX ports to increase
the bandwidth between this switch and another compatible switch. This is an inexpensive way
to increase bandwidth. We define port trunking as the ability to group set of ports (up to 8 )
within the same module into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as a single link between
switches. Multiple trunks may be implemented in this switch, but only one trunk can be created
within a module.
